MBCA's Desert-Wise Living Tour Essay Contest was initiated in 2012, providing gift certificates donated by local businesses as prizes for sharing reactions and insights from participating in the Landscape Tour. After a two-year hiatus in 2020 and 2021 when we only created video tours, the contest was reinstated in 2022 and expanded in 2023 as both an essay and visual art contest. Each year's 1st place winners are viewable through the links below.
